Abstract

In the case of a sanitary fitting, an operating grip is pushed on the operating shaft of a mixer cartridge. To fix the operating grip a locking device is proposed, which engages on the locking element located on the operating grip by means of a locking element on the fitting. There is as such no direct security lock between the grip and operating shaft, but between operating grip and valve body.

Description

Beschreibung description
Sanitärarmaturplumbing fixture
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Sanitärarmatur, bei der in einem Armaturengehäuse eine Mischerkartusche untergebracht ist. Solche Mischerkartuschen sind bekannt. Sie enthalten ein Mi seh System, mit dessen Hilfe eine Mischung und eine Mengensteuerung durchgeführt werden kann und das mit Hilfe eines in der Kartusche gelagerten Betätigungsschaftes betätigt werden kann. Der Betätigungsschaft wird aus der Kartusche herausgeführt. Auf den Betätigungsschaft wird dann ein Betätigungsgriff oder Betätigungshebel aufgesetzt, der nach optischen und gestalterischen Erfordernissen ausgestaltet ist.The invention is based on a sanitary fitting in which a mixer cartridge is accommodated in a fitting housing. Mixer cartridges of this type are known. They contain a Mi seh system, with the help of which a mixing and a quantity control can be carried out and which can be actuated with the aid of an operating shaft mounted in the cartridge. The actuating shaft is led out of the cartridge. An actuating handle or actuating lever is then placed on the actuating shaft, which is designed according to visual and design requirements.
Bei neueren Sanitärarmaturen sind auch Betätigungsgriffe bekannt, die als kurzer Stab ausgebildet sind, so genannte Joysticks.In newer sanitary fittings, actuation handles are also known which are designed as a short rod, so-called joysticks.
Zur Befestigung der Betätigungsgriffe an den Betätigungsschäften der Mischerkartuschen ist es bekannt, im Betätigungsgriff eine Klemmschraube unterzubringen, die gegen den Betätigungsschaft festgeschraubt wird, so dass der Griff verklemmt ist. Zur Verbesserung der Befestigung kann der Schaft auch eine Kerbe aufweisen, in die die Klemmschraube eingreift, um dadurch ein Lockern des Griffs zu verhindern. Diese Klemmschraube soll aber von außen nicht sichtbar sein. Deswegen ist es häufig erforderlich, die Öffnung, durch die die Klemmschraube zugänglich ist, durch eine Abdeckung zu verkleiden.To attach the actuating handles to the actuating shafts of the mixer cartridges, it is known to accommodate a clamping screw in the actuating handle which is screwed tight against the actuating shaft so that the handle is jammed. To improve the fastening, the shaft can also have a notch into which the clamping screw engages, in order to prevent the handle from loosening. However, this clamping screw should not be visible from the outside. It is therefore often necessary to cover the opening through which the clamping screw is accessible with a cover.
Gerade bei den als Joystick ausgebildeten kleinen Betätigungsgriffen muss auch die Klemmschraube sehr klein sein, da wenig Platz zur Verfügung steht. Jede derartige Befestigungsart ist aber problematisch, da die Klemmschrauben sehr klein sind, sich häufig nur mit Spezialwerkzeug bedienen lassen und auch die Gefahr besteht, dass sie verloren gehen. Darüber hinaus besteht die Gefahr, dass sich im Lauf der Zeit die Befestigung lockert, was beim Bedienen des Ventils zu einer Beeinträchtigung für den Benutzer führt.Especially with the small actuation handles designed as joysticks, the clamping screw must also be very small, since there is little space available. However, each type of attachment is problematic because the clamping screws are very small, can often only be operated with special tools and there is also the risk that they will be lost. In addition, there is a risk that the attachment will loosen over time, which leads to an impairment for the user when operating the valve.
Bei einer bekannten Griffbefestigung (EP 579 111) wird der Betätigungsschaft der Mischerkartusche in einem Flanschelement festgeschraubt, das dann in eine Gπffhaube eingesetzt und dort mit einer Madenschraube gesichert wird.In a known handle attachment (EP 579 111), the actuating shaft of the mixer cartridge is screwed into a flange element, which is then inserted into a grip hood and secured there with a grub screw.
Bei einem weiteren Einhandhebelmischer (DE 38 15 901 ) wird auf das freie Ende des Betätigungsschafts ein Griff aufgeschnappt. Der Betätigungsschaft weist seitliche Vertiefungen auf, in die federnde Vorsprünge des Griffs einschnappen.In another one-hand lever mixer (DE 38 15 901), a handle is snapped onto the free end of the operating shaft. The actuating shaft has lateral recesses into which spring projections of the handle snap.
Bei einem nochmals weiteren Mischventil (US 4,960,154) wird der Griff dadurch an dem Betätigungsschaft befestigt, dass der Betätigungsschaft in eine Sacklochbohrung des Griffs eingesetzt und mit einer radialen Klemmschraube fest geklemmt wird.In yet another mixing valve (US 4,960,154), the handle is attached to the actuating shaft by inserting the actuating shaft into a blind hole in the handle and clamping it firmly with a radial clamping screw.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Befestigung für einen Mischergriff zu schaffen, die sich einfach herstellen und montieren lässt und bei der die eingangs erwähnten Nachteile des Standes der Technik nicht auftreten.The invention is based on the object of providing a fastening for a mixer handle which is simple to manufacture and assemble and in which the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned at the outset do not occur.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung eine Sanitärarmatur mit den im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen vor. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen. Während bei allen bekannten Befestigungsarten von Griffen an Mischerkartuschen die Sicherung immer direkt zwischen Griff und Schaft wirkt, geht die Erfindung einen anderen Weg, indem sie nämlich die zusammen die Sicherungseinrichtung bildenden Sicherungselemente nicht zwischen Griff und Schaft einsetzt, sondern zwischen dem Griff und einem anderen Teil, dem gegenüber die Mischerkartusche festgelegt ist. Dadurch wird es möglich, dass die Sicherungselemente nicht an die Größe des Betätigungsschaftes angepasst sein müssen. Denn die Betätigungsschäfte sind relativ klein und werden durch Kerben oder ähnliche Querschnittsverringerungen geschwächt.To achieve this object, the invention proposes a sanitary fitting with the features mentioned in claim 1. Developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims. While with all known types of attachment of handles to mixer cartridges the fuse always acts directly between the handle and the shaft, the invention takes a different path, namely by not inserting the securing elements together forming the securing device between the handle and the shaft, but between the handle and another part against which the mixer cartridge is fixed. This makes it possible for the securing elements not to have to be adapted to the size of the actuating shaft. Because the actuating shafts are relatively small and are weakened by notches or similar cross-sectional reductions.
Eine Möglichkeit, wie die Sicherungseinrichtung ausgebildet sein kann, besteht darin, dass eines der Sicherungselemente an dem Betätigungsgriff angeordnet ist, während das andere Sicherungselement dem Armaturengehäuse zugeordnet ist. Selbst bei sehr kleinen, insbesondere sehr schmalen, Betätigungsgriffen ist es möglich, den Betätigungsgriff an einer Stelle, wo er nicht unbedingt sichtbar ist, so auszubilden, dass dort genügend Material zum Angreifen der Sicherungseinrichtung vorhanden ist.One possibility of how the securing device can be designed is that one of the securing elements is arranged on the actuating handle, while the other securing element is assigned to the valve body. Even in the case of very small, in particular very narrow, actuating handles, it is possible to design the actuating handle at a point where it is not necessarily visible in such a way that there is sufficient material there to engage the securing device.
Insbesondere kann in Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, dass das dem Armaturengehäuse zugeordnete Sicherungselement ein Teil der Befestigung der Mischerkartusche ist.In particular, it can be provided in a further development of the invention that the securing element assigned to the valve housing is part of the attachment of the mixer cartridge.
Es ist ebenfalls möglich und wird von Erfindung vorgeschlagenen, dass das dem Armaturengehäuse zugeordnete Sicherungselement oder Fixierungselement ein Teil des Armaturengehäuses selbst ist.It is also possible and is proposed by the invention that the securing element or fixing element assigned to the valve housing is part of the valve housing itself.
Beispielsweise kann dieses Sicherungselement ein Teil des Auslaufs der Sanitärarmatur sein. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass das dem Armaturengehäuse zugeordnete Sicherungselement eine Hülse ist. Diese kann beispielsweise auch dazu dienen, in Zusammenwirken mit einem Teil des Armaturengehäuses, beispielsweise dem Auslauf der Sanitärarmatur, die Mischerkartusche in dem Armaturengehäuse zu positionieren und zu fixieren.For example, this securing element can be part of the outlet of the sanitary fitting. It can be provided that the securing element assigned to the valve housing is a sleeve. This can also serve, for example, to position and fix the mixer cartridge in the fitting housing in cooperation with a part of the fitting housing, for example the outlet of the sanitary fitting.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass das dem Armaturengehäuse zugeordnete Sicherungselement eine Überwurfmutter ist, die ebenfalls beispielsweise zum Festlegen und Fixieren der Mischerkartusche, direkt oder über eine Hülse, vorgesehen ist.In particular, it can be provided that the securing element assigned to the valve housing is a union nut, which is also provided, for example, for fixing and fixing the mixer cartridge, directly or via a sleeve.
Das dem Betätigungsgriff zugeordnete Sicherungselement kann beispielsweise ein Flansch sein. Dieser kann an dem der Mischerkartusche zugewandten Ende des Betätigungsgriffs angeordnet sein, so dass er optisch nicht stört. Je nachdem, wie die Mischerkartusche betätigt wird, kann erfindungsgemäß in Weiterbildung vorgesehen sein, dass die der Mischerkartusche abgewandte Oberfläche des Flanschs ein Teil einer Kreiszylinderfläche bzw. einer Kugeloberfläche ist. Wenn die Mischerkartusche durch Verschwenken des Betätigungsschafts um eine ortsfeste Achse betätigt wird, ist eine Kreiszylinderoberfläche die von der Erfindung vorgeschlagene bevorzugte Ausbildung. Wenn dagegen, wie dies meistens gegeben ist, der Betätigungsschaft um einen festen Punkt in unterschiedliche Richtungen verschwenkt werden kann, ist die von der Erfindung bevorzugte Möglichkeit die Kugeloberfläche des Flanschs.The securing element assigned to the actuating handle can be a flange, for example. This can be arranged on the end of the actuating handle facing the mixer cartridge, so that it does not interfere optically. Depending on how the mixer cartridge is actuated, it can be provided according to the invention that the surface of the flange facing away from the mixer cartridge is part of a circular cylindrical surface or a spherical surface. If the mixer cartridge is actuated by pivoting the actuating shaft about a stationary axis, a circular cylinder surface is the preferred embodiment proposed by the invention. If, on the other hand, as is usually the case, the actuating shaft can be pivoted about a fixed point in different directions, the possibility preferred by the invention is the spherical surface of the flange.
Bei den zum Stand der Technik gehörenden Mischerventilen ist der Griff in der Regel derart ausgebildet, dass er den Bereich, in dem der Betätigungsschaft aus der Kartusche und aus dem Armaturengehäuse heraus tritt, optisch abdeckt. Bei sehr kleinen stabartigen Betätigungsgriffen kann der gerade erwähnte von Erfindung vorgeschlagene Flansch diese Aufgabe übernehmen. Vorzugsweise ist die Sanitärarmatur derart ausgebildet, dass der Flansch die Durchtrittsöffnung für den Betätigungsschaft in allen möglichen Positionen der Mischerkartusche abdeckt. Die Abdeckung kann dabei insbesondere im Zusammenwirken mit dem dem Armaturengehäuse zugeordneten Sicherungselement erfolgen.In the case of the mixer valves belonging to the prior art, the handle is generally designed in such a way that it optically covers the area in which the actuating shaft emerges from the cartridge and from the valve housing. In the case of very small rod-like operating handles, the one just mentioned can be invented proposed flange take on this task. The sanitary fitting is preferably designed such that the flange covers the passage opening for the actuating shaft in all possible positions of the mixer cartridge. The covering can take place in particular in cooperation with the securing element assigned to the fitting housing.
Um das Eindringen von Reinigungsmittel in das Innere der Sanitärarmatur zu verhindern, kann erfindungsgemäß z:wischen den beiden zusammen die Sicherungseinrichtung bildendenIn order to prevent the penetration of cleaning agents into the interior of the sanitary fitting, according to the invention, the two which form the securing device can be wiped together
Sicherungselementen eine Dichtung vorgesehen sein. Diese Dichtung kann insbesondere an dem armaturenseitigen Sicherungselement angeordnet bzw. befestigt sein. Sie kann insbesondere auch ein Teil eines Befestigungselements sein.Securing elements a seal can be provided. This seal can in particular be arranged or fastened to the securing element on the fitting side. In particular, it can also be part of a fastening element.
Zur Verbesserung der Handhabung der Sanitärarmatur kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Dichtung eine Gleichfläche aufweist, längs der das jeweils andere Sicherungselement gleitet.To improve the handling of the sanitary fitting, it can be provided that the seal has a uniform surface, along which the other securing element slides.
Die Sicherungseinrichtung dient dazu, den Betätigungsgriff gegen Abziehen oder Abnehmen von dem Betätigungsschaft zu sichern. Es ist nicht erforderlich, dass die Sicherungseinrichtung den Betätigungsgriff auch gegen eine Verdrehung gegenüber dem Betätigungsschaft sichert. Falls dies gewünscht ist, kann eine solche Sicherung gegen Verdrehen durch entsprechende Formgebung von Betätigungsschaft und Griff erreicht werden. Der Griff wird, ähnlich wie im Stand der Technik, dadurch mit dem Betätigungsschaft verbunden, dass er in axialer Richtung des Betätigungsschaftes auf diesen aufgesteckt wird. Zu diesem Zweck hat der Betätigungsgriff üblicherweise eine Aufnahme, die beispielsweise als einseitig geschlossenes Hülsenelement ausgebildet sein kann. Weitere Merkmale, Einzelheiten und Vorzüge der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Patentansprüchen und der Zusammenfassung, deren beider Wortlaut durch Bezugnahme zum Inhalt der Beschreibung gemacht wird, der folgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sowie an Hand der Zeichnung. Hierbei zeigen:The securing device serves to secure the operating handle against being pulled off or removed from the operating shaft. It is not necessary for the securing device to also secure the actuating handle against rotation relative to the actuating shaft. If this is desired, such protection against rotation can be achieved by appropriate shaping of the operating shaft and handle. Similar to the prior art, the handle is connected to the actuating shaft by being attached to the actuating shaft in the axial direction. For this purpose, the actuating handle usually has a receptacle, which can be designed, for example, as a sleeve element closed on one side. Further features, details and advantages of the invention emerge from the patent claims and the abstract, the wording of both of which is made by reference to the content of the description, the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention and with reference to the drawing.

In the valve housing 1, a receiving space 2 is formed, in which a mixer cartridge 3 is arranged. The mixer cartridge is inserted into the open-top receptacle 2 and centered and positioned there by means of a sleeve 4. The sleeve 4 has an intermediate wall 5, in which a central opening 6 is present. This intermediate wall lies on the upper edge of the mixer cartridge 3. From the Mixer cartridge 3 protrudes an actuating shaft 7 which is provided with longitudinal teeth.
Wenn die Mischerkartusche 3 und die Hülse 4 in den Aufnahmeraum 2 eingesetzt sind, wird auf den Betätigungsschaft 7 ein Betätigungsgriff 8 aufgeschoben. Dieser Betätigungsgriff 8 weist eine zentrale Öffnung 9 in Form einer Sackbohrung auf, deren Ränder ebenfalls eine Längsverzahnung aufweisen können. Es ist auch denkbar, dass die Längsverzahnung erst beim Aufschieben des Betätigungsgriffs 8 auf den Betätigungsschaft 7 der Mischerkartusche 3 eingeschnitten wird. Die Verbindung in Drehrichtung kann auch durch einen anders gestalteten Formschluss errichtet werden.When the mixer cartridge 3 and the sleeve 4 are inserted into the receiving space 2, an actuating handle 8 is pushed onto the actuating shaft 7. This actuating handle 8 has a central opening 9 in the form of a blind bore, the edges of which can also have longitudinal teeth. It is also conceivable for the longitudinal toothing to be cut only when the operating handle 8 is pushed onto the operating shaft 7 of the mixer cartridge 3. The connection in the direction of rotation can also be established by a different form fit.
Im Bereich seines unteren, der Mischerkartusche 3 zugewandten Endes enthält der Betätigungsgriff 8 einen nach außen gerichteten Flansch 10, dessen Oberfläche in einer Kugeloberfläche liegt. Der Mittelpunkt dieser gedachten Kugel liegt im Mittelpunkt der Drehlagerung des Betätigungsschafts 7. Beim Verschwenken des Betätigungsschafts 7 mit Hilfe des Betätigungsgriffs 8 bleibt also die Oberfläche des Flanschs 1 O in der festen Kugeloberfläche.In the area of its lower end facing the mixer cartridge 3, the actuating handle 8 contains an outwardly directed flange 10, the surface of which lies in a spherical surface. The center of this imaginary ball lies in the center of the rotary bearing of the actuating shaft 7. When the actuating shaft 7 is pivoted with the aid of the actuating handle 8, the surface of the flange 10 remains in the fixed spherical surface.
Das Armaturengehäuse enthält einen Auslauf 11 , der in einem Auslaufgehäuse ausgebildet ist. Dieser Auslauf 1 1 enthält in seiner Oberseite eine Öffnung 12, deren Rand ebenfalls in einer Kugeloberfläche liegt. Der Rand der Öffnung 12 ist, von oben gesehen, hinterschnitten. Wird nun der Auslauf 11 mit seiner Öffnung 12 über den Betätigungsgriff 8 aufgefädelt und auf die Oberseite des übrigen Armaturengehäuses 1 aufgesetzt, so liegt die Oberfläche des Flanschs 10 flächig an dem Rand der Öffnung 12 des Auslaufs 1 1 an. In dieser Position wird der Auslauf 1 1 mit Hilfe zweier Schrauben 13 festgelegt. Bei der Verschwenkung des Betätigungsgriffs 8 liegt also die Kugeloberfläche seines Flanschs 10 an der komplementär ausgebildeten Öffnung 12 des Auslaufs 11 an. Die Befestigung des Auslaufs 1 1 dient gleichzeitig zur Festlegung der Hülse 4 und damit über die Zwischenwand 5 auch der Mischerkartusche 3 in dem Armaturengehäuse 1. Die Sicherung gegen Abziehen wird durch das Anliegen der Kugeloberfläche des Flanschs 10 an dem Rand der Öffnung 12 gewährleistet. Die Mitnahme des Griffs 8 in Umfangsrichtung wird durch die Längsverzahnung des Betätigungsschafts 7 erreicht.The fitting housing contains an outlet 11 which is formed in an outlet housing. This outlet 11 contains an opening 12 in its upper side, the edge of which likewise lies in a spherical surface. The edge of the opening 12 is undercut when viewed from above. If the outlet 11 is now threaded with its opening 12 via the actuating handle 8 and placed on the top of the rest of the fitting housing 1, the surface of the flange 10 lies flat against the edge of the opening 12 of the outlet 11. In this position, the outlet 11 is fixed with the aid of two screws 13. When the actuating handle 8 is pivoted, the spherical surface of its flange 10 is complementary trained opening 12 of the outlet 11. The attachment of the outlet 11 serves at the same time to fix the sleeve 4 and thus also the mixer cartridge 3 in the fitting housing 1 via the intermediate wall 5. Securing against pulling off is ensured by the spherical surface of the flange 10 resting against the edge of the opening 12. The entrainment of the handle 8 in the circumferential direction is achieved by the longitudinal toothing of the actuating shaft 7.
Figur 2 zeigt eine geänderte Ausführungsform, bei der nur die Teile im Einzelnen beschrieben werden, die sich von denen der Ausführungsform nach Figur 1 unterscheiden. Zur Positionierung der Mischerkartusche 3 dient wieder eine Hülse 4, die, ebenso wie die Hülse 4 der Ausführungsform nach Figur 1 , nach oben hin offen ist. In dieses oben offene Ende der Hülse 4 ist ein Deckelelement 20 von oben eingeschoben, das mit seinem zylindrischen unteren Rand 21 an der Innenseite der Hülse 4 oberhalb der Zwischenwand 5 anliegt. Im mittleren Bereich weist der Deckel 20 eine Öffnung 22 auf, die durch Ausbiegung des Materials einen in seiner Fläche vergrößerten Rand erhalten hat. Die nach innen gerichtete Fläche dieser vergrößerten Randzone liegt auf einer Kugeloberfläche, die komplementär zur Kugeloberfläche des Flanschs 10 des Betätigungselements 18 ist. Auf diese Einheit ist dann der Auslauf 1 1 aufgesetzt. Der Auslauf 1 1 , der in gleicher Weise wie bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 1 befestigt ist, drückt den Deckel 20 in die Hülse 4 und sorgt so dafür, dass der Griff 18 gegen ein Abziehen gesichert ist. Der Deckel 20 bildet mit seinem Randbereich rings um die Öffnung 22 eine vergrößerte Anlagefläche, die auch dazu verwendet werden kann, eine Dichtung zu bilden. Der Deckel 20 kann aus einem gummielastisch verformbaren Material bestehen und ein Dichtungselement bilden. Dieses Dichtungselement kann auf der dem bewegten Teil gegenüberliegenden Fläche mit einer Gleitfläche versehen sein. Es ist auch möglich, dass das Deckelelement 20 nur zur Verbesserung der Gleiteigenschaften und zur Vergrößerung der Fläche verwendet wird, ohne Dichteigenschaften zu besitzen. Das Deckelelement 20 kann sowohl aus einem Kunststoff als auch aus Metall bestehen.FIG. 2 shows a modified embodiment in which only those parts are described in detail which differ from those of the embodiment according to FIG. 1. A sleeve 4, which, like the sleeve 4 of the embodiment according to FIG. 1, is open at the top, is again used to position the mixer cartridge 3. In this open end of the sleeve 4, a cover member 20 is inserted from above, which rests with its cylindrical lower edge 21 on the inside of the sleeve 4 above the intermediate wall 5. In the central region, the cover 20 has an opening 22 which has been given an enlarged surface due to the material being bent out. The inward surface of this enlarged edge zone lies on a spherical surface which is complementary to the spherical surface of the flange 10 of the actuating element 18. The outlet 1 1 is then placed on this unit. The outlet 11, which is fastened in the same way as in the embodiment according to FIG. 1, presses the lid 20 into the sleeve 4 and thus ensures that the handle 18 is secured against being pulled off. The lid 20 forms with its edge area around the opening 22 an enlarged contact surface, which can also be used to form a seal. The cover 20 can consist of a rubber-elastic deformable material and form a sealing element. This sealing element can be provided with a sliding surface on the surface opposite the moving part. It is also possible that the cover element 20 only to improve the sliding properties and to enlarge the area is used without having sealing properties. The cover element 20 can consist of a plastic as well as a metal.
Bei der in Figur 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform wird die Mischerkartusche in der Aufnahme 2 durch eine Hülse 24 festgehalten, die ähnlich aufgebaut ist wie die Hülse 4 bei den Ausführungsformen nach Figur 1 und 2, jedoch in das Armaturengehäuse 1 eingeschraubt wird. Der obere Innenrand der Aufnahme 2 weist ein Innengewinde 25 auf, in das die Hülse 24 eingeschraubt wird, bis sie mit einer Schulter auf der entsprechenden Gegenschulter des Armaturengehäuses aufliegt. Im oberen Bereich weist die Hülse 24 ein weiteres Außengewinde 26 auf, dass etwas weiter außen liegt als das erste Gewinde. In das oben offene Ende der Hülse 24 wird das gleiche Deckelelement 20 eingesetzt wie bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 2. Zum Festlegen dient dann eine äußere Kappe 27, die eine der Öffnung 12 des Auslaufs 11 bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 1 und 2 entsprechende Öffnung aufweist. Die Kappe wird auf das Außengewinde 26 der Hülse 24 aufgeschraubt. Sie legt das Deckelelement 20 in der gleichen Weise fest wie bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 2.In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the mixer cartridge is held in the receptacle 2 by a sleeve 24 which is constructed similarly to the sleeve 4 in the embodiments of Figures 1 and 2, but is screwed into the valve body 1. The upper inner edge of the receptacle 2 has an internal thread 25 into which the sleeve 24 is screwed until it rests with one shoulder on the corresponding counter shoulder of the valve body. In the upper area, the sleeve 24 has a further external thread 26 that is somewhat further outwards than the first thread. The same cover element 20 is used in the open end of the sleeve 24 as in the embodiment according to FIG. 2. An outer cap 27 is then used for fixing, which has an opening corresponding to the opening 12 of the outlet 11 in the embodiment according to FIGS , The cap is screwed onto the external thread 26 of the sleeve 24. It fixes the cover element 20 in the same way as in the embodiment according to FIG. 2.
In Figur 4 wird zum Festlegen der Mischerkartusche 3 in dem Aufnahmeraum 2 der Sanitärarmatur 1 eine Kappe 34 verwendet, die in ihrem unteren Bereich die Rolle der Hülse 4 bzw. 24 bei den Ausführungsformen der Figuren 1 bis 3 übernimmt und in ihrem oberen Bereich das Sicherungselement der Sicherungseinrichtung für den Flansch 10 des Betätigungsgriffs 8 bildet. Zu diesem Zweck hat die Kappe 34 oberhalb der angedeuteten Zwischenwand 35 einen Hohlraum, der nach oben hin durch eine Kugeloberfläche 36 abgeschlossen wird, in deren Mitte eine Durchtrittsöffnung für den Griff 8 vorhanden ist. Hier wird die Sicherung des Griffs gegen Abziehen durch das Zusammenwirken zwischen der Oberfläche des Flanschs 10 und einer Gegenfläche in der Kappe 34 gebildet.In Figure 4, a cap 34 is used to fix the mixer cartridge 3 in the receiving space 2 of the sanitary fitting 1, which takes over the role of the sleeve 4 or 24 in the embodiments of Figures 1 to 3 in its lower region and the securing element in its upper region forms the securing device for the flange 10 of the actuating handle 8. For this purpose, the cap 34 has a cavity above the indicated intermediate wall 35, which is closed at the top by a spherical surface 36, in the middle of which there is an opening for the handle 8. This is where the handle is secured against being pulled off the interaction between the surface of the flange 10 and a counter surface in the cap 34 is formed.
Bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 5 wird nicht nur das Hülsenelement 4 bzw. 24, sondern auch die Seitenwand der Aufnahme 2 für die Mischerkartusche 3 durch das Armaturengehäuse 1 gebildet, das gleichzeitig auch einen Auslauf 45 aufweist. Im oberen Bereich ist das Armaturengehäuse 1 so aufgebaut wie die Kappe 34 bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 4.In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, not only the sleeve element 4 or 24, but also the side wall of the receptacle 2 for the mixer cartridge 3 is formed by the fitting housing 1, which at the same time also has an outlet 45. In the upper region, the valve housing 1 is constructed in the same way as the cap 34 in the embodiment according to FIG. 4.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung liegt darin, zum Fixieren des Betätigungsgriffs bzw. zu seiner Sicherung gegen Abziehen von dem Betätigungsschaft, auf den er aufgeschoben ist, eine Sicherungseinrichtung zu verwenden, die nicht direkt zwischen dem Griff und dem Schaft wirkt, sondern zwischen dem Griff und einem anderen Teil der Sanitärarmatur, vorzugsweise einem Teil des Armaturengehäuses, der gleichzeitig auch noch zur Sicherung der Mischerkartusche in dem Armaturengehäuse dienen kann. The basic idea of the invention is to use a securing device to fix the actuating handle or to secure it against being pulled off the actuating shaft onto which it is pushed, which does not act directly between the handle and the shaft, but between the handle and one other part of the sanitary fitting, preferably a part of the fitting housing, which at the same time can also serve to secure the mixer cartridge in the fitting housing.
